"For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Late Happy New Year! And Happy (Early) Chinese New Year!

My life has changed dramatically since my last post. My husband, Lauderdale, and I have separated and our divorce will be finalized soon. I ended up moving to a completely different part of town. I started a new job.I have a new outlook on life.

Since I moved to a much smaller place, I had to get rid of a few culinary items which was sad for me. I have lost a good-sized kitchen but have gained access to many new and nearby restaurants. I am centrally located to some of my favorite haunts. I discovered that many restaurants deliver to my new place which is a precious privilege that my old place did not offer.

This is my year to try new things, culinary and otherwise. I discovered a new favorite sandwich shop called Which Wich. There are several main categories (e.g. Chicken, Beef, Pork, Classics, Vegetarian), choose your bread, cheese (optional), mustard, mayo, spreads, onions, veggies, oils and spices. You fill out a paper bag which serves as your menu and tells the staff what you want on your sandwich.

I have tried 5 different sandwiches and have enjoyed them all immensely. Although I had pork tenderloin today which wasn't like the ones I have had on a plate but still good. I still have to try some more categories: beef, vegetarian, seafood, classic, and comfort). I appreciate the fact that they have the frequent buyer club so eventually I'll have a free sandwich.

That's all I have to say about food for now. For more of my non-culinary adventures, please check out my friend's dating blog, Date and Tell, where I am a guest writer.Until next time!

Welcome

Thank you for visiting All About the Food! This blog is dedicated to all aspiring cooks and foodies everywhere! My philosophy is to constantly strive for improvement and knowledge about cooking and food.

I can't wait to share some of my favorite recipes, cookbooks, websites, tips, restaurants, and general thoughts on food and cooking.

Some of my favorite foods to make (and eat) were inspired by past vacations, particularly New Orleans and France. Someday, I hope to venture out out to Italy and Southeast Asia. For now, I live in sunny Southern California.
